The offi cer said Niko’s con-
tinued racially-motivated state-
ments while in a police vehicle
prompted him to activate his
in-car camera to record them.
Niko also said that he did have
encounters with the son while
walking a dog and that the last
time it happened “he did not
run him over, but he did not
slow down for him and his
dog.” He also claimed he was
not speeding at the time.
Lt. Andrew Copeland said
the incident was the only one
of its kind he could fi nd in
Keizer in recent years. The last
one was in 2010 and involved
a threat painted on a curbside.
Regardless, he said the Keizer
Police Department wants resi-
dents to report such incidents if
they are victimized or witness
them.
“If we can establish a pattern
of behavior for a specifi c group
or person, where they’re con-
tinually slandering or input-
ting their bias against a specifi c
race or gender or whatever, that
would be very good to docu-
ment for the police department
so we can build up that case if
something does happen,” Co-
peland said. “If we have a group
that’s being discriminated
against, we need to see what we
can do to help them out.”
Ideally, he added, police
would be able to confront the
antagonizer before it rises to
the level of physical harm.

full of life and love, it just brings
meaning back to the job. It’s
healthy for both, sometimes
more healthy for the cops.”
As a point of contrast, in
the Salem Police Department,
Lt. Debbie Aguilar is a liaison
to the Salem Human Rights
Commission that works with
victims of hate- and bias-mo-
tivated incidents. Aguilar edu-

Copeland said the thing the
department needs most is more
people and time to devote to
connecting with the commu-

issues around community con-

part-time.
“If we had someone who
could reach out and set up the
meetings, to establish relation-

an agenda” it would create an
avenue for better communica-
tion and better dialogue about
community issues between
community members and the
police department, Copeland
said.
